Toxzll whom-2t 7737653). concerns-9 g-fBe it known' thata I; *HENRY/Gomma SMITH, `a citizen fof the United St-atesyand'V residing at St.Marys 'irri the county-wof- Auglaize and State of Chio, havleinvented" a new and @Improved -Dishwashing'1Device, of which the following is a specificlation.'--`

This inventionr relateslto means'f-or vremoving table refuse, grease' andV other coat-1 ingsl from plates,-pa-ns and other-householdutensils, and itsobject is tof'provid-e al device which shall; embody1-a4-brush and mea-ns -,-.to convey soapy water.'thereto;-;;Another obf ject is toy provide .means whereby-sprays of. either clear-v or soapy water,-v or 1both,fmayj.be directed against the surfaces being -cleaned.

This invention consists of a brush and'a Support theretor. embsdyins a handle, 0f a plurality vofpipes -to 'convey water to the brush and a valve to control the flow of the water, sprayingV devices mounted on the support, tubes connecting toV the spraylng devices, and valves to control the flow of water to the spraying devices.

It further consists in the details of construction illustrated in the accompanying' drawings and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 1s a side elevation of this improved dish washer. Fig. 2 is a plan thereof. Fig. 3 is a view, partly in plan and partly in section on the line 3*-3 of Fig. 1. Figs. 4 and 5 are vertical sections showing a valve in two positions. Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6--6 of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a plan of the lower hall:l of the handle.

Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

In my prior application, Serial Number 564,256, filed May 27th, 1922, I have shown a device for delivering hot clear water and hot soapy water and for regulating the temperature of this water. The present con:V struction is adapted to be connected to the two delivery tubes of that supply apparatus or to be connected to any other supply of clear and soapy water. It is'to be understood that the term soapy water includes water which carries any desired kcleansing material.

This device is adapted to be held in one hand while the other hand manipulates the articles to be cleaned. The handle is prefer- Liann-W.

The' cap 22 is secured to the stem by means of a pin 23 which also holds a skirting 24 in position. The pressure of the water underneath the valve 19 vnormally holds it against its seat. The middle valve 9 is preferably braced by means of a rod25 welded orsoldered to the pipe 3.

Extending vforward from the clear water valve 8 lis a spray pipe 27 having a series of perforationsp28 through which jets of rinsingfwater may be directed against the surfaces which have been cleaned. A similar pipe 29 extends from the soapy- 'water valve 11 and is provided with perforations 30 and lis adapted to direct jets of soapy water against surfaces for the purpose of cleaning them, after which the sur-v faces are rinsed by the clear water flowing through the valve 8 and spray 28. When the surface cannot be cleaned by a spray of soapy water, it is scoured with the brush e 32 and then rinsed with clear water flowing through thekvalve 8 and spray 28. A nozzle 33 extends from the central soapy-water valve 9 and is preferably inclined downward, as shownin Fig. 1, having a curved "end 34 which extends over the discharge opening 35 so as to direct" the stream of*v to extend through registering holes in the sleeve and nozzle and thus secures the brush to the nozzle. A curved Washer, 40 and nut al are preferably employed.

rlhe details of construction and the proportions of the parts may all be changed by those skilled kin the art without departing 'from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the following claims.

l claim l. In a deviceoi the class described, the combination ot a plurality of supply pipes for diierent kinds ot cleaning liquids, valves connected thereto, a spray tube connected to each live, a third valve connected to one of said pipes, a nozzle connected to the third valve, and a brush attached to the nozzle anu surrounding the discharge end thereof.

2. ln a device of the class described, the combination oi" a plurality of supply pipes iior different kinds of cleaning liquids, valves connected thereto, a spray tube connected to each valve, a third valve connected to one oi the pipes, a nozzle connected to the third valve and extending beyond the aforesaid spray tubes, a sleeve detachably mounted on said nozzle, and a looped brush attached to said sleeve surrounding the discharge end of the nozzle and removable with the sleeve.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a plurality ot supply pipes for different kinds of cleaning liquids, valves connected thereto, a spray tube connected to each valve, a third valve connected to one of the pipes, a nozzle connected to the third valve and extending beyond the aforesaid spray tubes, a sleeve detachably mounted on said nozzle, a brush attached to said sleeve surrounding the discharge end of the nozzle, a valve connecte( to the inlet end oi each pipe to control the flow of liquid therethrough, and a handle mounted on the pipes between the valves connected thereto.

4c. A device for Washing dishes, pots, pans and similar' articles that can be operated in one hand of the operator and comprising a pair ot pipes 'or conducting a cleansing liquid and a rinsing liquid therethrough, means for regulating and controlling the flow oit these liquids, sprays attached to the pipes, a scrubbing brush and controllable means for feeding the cleansing liquid to the brush.
